The Search Is Over Survivor นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Kahit nanginig sa ulan, nanatili siyang nakatayo roon, hawak ang maliit na memory chip na iniwan ni Clara. “She’s alive, Mara,” mahina niyang sabi. “My daughter’s alive.” Tumango si Mara, halatang pigil din ang luha. “We’ll find her. Pero kailangan muna nating makalayo. Lilith will hunt you down.” Sa unang pagkakataon, ngumiti si Aurora, malamig pero matatag. “She can try.” ⸻ The Morning After Kinabukasan, sa mga headline ng bawat news outlet:

"Limang taon na ang nakalipas… nakita ko siya sa ilalim." Napakunot ang noo ng tatlo. "Sa ilalim?" tanong ni Zaidee. "Underground arena." Matalim ang boses ni Hunter, tila bumabalik ang takot sa kanyang alaala. "Sa isang gabi… may labanan para sa survival. Walang pangalan, walang titulo. Bawal ang awa. Animnapung mandirigma, bayarang sundalo, killer, ex-military. Pinadala ako ro'n para obserbahan, hindi sumali."

Julian said. Adrian’s voice snapped. “You manipulate her into believing you don’t.” Julian turned slightly toward him. “And you think you’re better?” The room fractured again. Between them. Between truth and distortion. Between versions of reality I could no longer separate. My phone buzzed again. A second message. Unknown sender. “THE HEIR OF RUIN HAS BEEN LOCATED. EXTRACTION TEAM DEPLOYED.” My breath stopped completely. Julian saw it. Adrian saw it.

Nasa mansion na sila ngayon ng mga Bizon at dito nalang maghihntay ng resulta para sa paghahanap kay Hannah . ''mga walang hiya kung hindi nila na off ang cellphone ni Hannah ito ang gagamitin nila para mahanap sila '' inis niyang pinagtatadyak ang sahig dahil palpak ang kanyang plano . ''mukha kang kinakabahan ?" tanong ni VIlma dito . ''lola nag aalala ako kay Hannah '' sagot nito .

Habang nasa elevator siya, tinawagan niya agad si Nicholas. “Did you find her?” Nicholas immediately questioned upon answering the call. He was pertaining to Clarrisse, whom his men were already searching for across the city. “No,” sumbat naman ni Gunner. “But that attack on the cruise ship, that’s a fucking cover-up to increase the chance of Clarrisse being saved.” Isang malutong agad na mura ang pinakawalan ni Nicholas. “Is Laverna with you?” tanong niya.

Nanginginig ang kamay na pinindot ang isa pang attachment. Puro litrato. Charred bodies, hardly identified. A burnt estate. A list of casualties. Redacted names. But only one name was clear. “Survivor: Vasiliev, Elizabeth Stheno. Age: 7” Parang napugto ang hininga ni Alaister. Here is the evidence and proof that he’s been looking for. His chest tightened. The truth was too overwhelming. He was raised by a man who was involved in this massacre.

Habang siya ay patuloy na naghahanap. Lumipas ang oras ay wala pa ring nakikita si Hunter kahit isang death threats, dahilan upang mawalan na talaga ako ng pag-asa. Ngunit si Hunter ay hindi pa rin nasuko sa paghahanap hanggang sa may makita siyang makapal na sobre. Binuksan ni Hunter ang sobre at lumantad sa kanyang mga mata ang mga death threats na kanina pa namin hinahanap.

“The survivor wasn’t Adrian.” Pumikit si Celestine. Isang hikbi ang kumawala sa dibdib niya. “Akala ko… ito na ‘yung sign na okay siya.” Lumapit ang mommy ni Adrian at hinawakan ang kamay niya. “Anak… hindi pa tapos ang paghahanap. Please don’t lose hope.” Dahan-dahang hinawakan ni Celestine ang tiyan niya. “Kailangan kong maging malakas,” bulong niya. “Para sa baby namin. Para kay Aiden.”

Ang searchlights ng rescue team ay parang mga alitaptap, umiilaw sa gitna ng makapal na hamog. Makakapal ang damo. Mahirap maghanap ng bakas. Makalipas ang ilang oras, tumunog ang telepono ni Bona. Si Law. “Sister Bona, nahanap na namin ang mga parte ng katawan ni Xia, pero wala pa rin si Sean.” “Naniniwala akong nahiwalay sila habang gumugulong. Buhay siya.
